A dwarf's labor preferences define the tasks that a dwarf will perform when given the means to do so. For instance, a dwarf with the wood cutting labor enabled will cut down trees whenever trees are designated to be cut. Essentially, a dwarf's labor preferences define what work he or she is allowed to do.

To change a dwarf's labor preferences, view the dwarf, then select preferences and labor.

Note that a labor is not a job. A job is the actual task of doing something, while a labor preference is simply whether a dwarf is allowed do the job or not.

Some examples of labors include wood cutting, hauling, fishing and metalsmithing.
